I live too close to Toronto Canada where I have held various positions working for a large waste management firm. I have worked for them for ten-years. I am a Mechanic by trade both cars and trucks. I have been a Fleet Manager for the past more than six-years for this company with five-managers that report up to me. The job stinks literally and there are plenty of maggots, roaches, fleas and rodents and such to go around; but hey it pays the bills. Does chain-smoking qualify as a hobby? I smoke some pretty good cigars to. I work too many hours in a job that stress

High school freshman in love with physics and a very special person.That's about it, for now.

Hi all, I am 73years of age and got interested in MSFS aged 60 and i am well into it. I fly PMDG 737ng, 747 md11 in both FS9/FSX. I live three miles from Glasgow airport (EGPF) near the glide path into runway 05. I am fortunate that the wind direction changes frequently here and I can an A330 or T7 go into land and during the turn around the wind can change and I see them depart from runway 23 passing overhead. This in itself is quite fascinating. richard welsh.

I am 26, and do airframes/flight controls work on SH-60B helicopter for the US Navy in Mayport, FL. Working on aircraft helps a lot with the flight simulation aspect cause at least I can understand what goes on under the hood. At some point I want to get my private pilots, but even renting an aircraft is major $$. So not to sure about it.

Very interesting thread. I am 52 years old. I live in the northeast of the Netherlands and I work as a civil & structural engineer with a major oil company. I have been simming since FS5. Gosh, I can't even remember how long ago that was, but I am still enjoying it!Eric
